Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. It is pretty clear, Minister, that not all your colleagues do agree with your comments about pensioners. Mr Turnour’s comments are that pensioners should simply ‘make savings when they go shopping and look at specials and look in their bank accounts’. Is Mr Turnour therefore indicating that the government will finally now support our call for an immediate $30 per week increase in the single age pension?
